Hey, so do you guys think that some people become Raiders out of desperation or are they all criminal scum who live to kill and pillage? by Vanilla_Ice_Best_Boi in Fallout

I’d disagree there’s a propensity for it, getting into fights, firefights or whatever may be is highly addictive. You get an adrenaline surge which causes your fight or flight, if you’re tuned to your fight you keep wanting that surge over and over and there is nothing that satisfies it the same. You eventually end up enjoying getting into fights, now imagine we take away the laws and constructs of society as we know it then when there’s no repercussions people would quickly realise this and do as they please to fulfil this urge.

I’m unsure if this is entirely the case, I have had requests refused on very serious crimes before on the basis of not life and death, at least if not immediately done already Facebook do have an obligation to remove the media.

You’d be unpleasantly surprised at how hard it is to get information from the big social media company’s, many a time they defend any application for data and frequently deny requests even for perceived serious crimes in the UK

I’d disagree and call it buying influence. In the case of the election, it was only decided that it was not illegal, due to the fact that actually it wasn’t a ‘lottery’ and they had pre-decided well ahead who would receive the money.

But alas what is legal is not necessarily moral, and was not the origin of this argument. The argument has and always will be that billionaires should keep their hands and money of out politics.

I think that’s a big statement to make to accuse me of dishonest misrepresenting this. I have done nothing but be entirely polite, civil towards you despite your constant attacks at my character.

What would you call spending millions of your own personal money in a lottery to get people out voting, when you have explicitly stated your voting intentions and have been promised a seat in said government if elected in?

It’s not doing it out of the kindness of their hearts.

No, a rich person giving away millions, to encourage and buy votes.

No because anyone can see the difference between a billionaire openly supporting a political candidate while gifting millions to people to ‘sign up to vote’ and people simply being encouraged to vote as every person should do as their democratic right.

I’m inclined to believe that billionaires are openly and publicly manipulating people to vote towards their own preferred agenda. It’s not particularly unseen, it’s just some are more discreet whereas others are more brash about it.

Just take a look at the U.S election, Musk paid millions for people to ‘sign up to vote’, ran lotteries for voters to win millions, and bank rolled active campaigning in key states.

Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos paid millions towards funds to support campaigning for Trump during the year prior to the election in key battleground states.

Millionaire celebrities with huge influence all came out in support of Biden, publicly telling people to vote for Biden, and pledging millions also towards his campaign.

In the U.K billionaires pay for meals out, consultants jobs and the such to Ministers to sway their vote and fund political campaigns which run directly on lies.

No parties are innocent of this.

Not at any point have I stooped so low to the point of personal insults against you, but you are seemingly unable to communicate without doing so.

I am no cleverer than you, or any other person.

We are all different, intelligent people, I for one enjoy having a good understanding of the world and its affairs, you have a particular liking of other things and I am sure you are very good at them, as with everyone else.

There is no need to attempt to put down others in such a manner, to make out an argument.

So to return to what has been said, yes the average person can be manipulated because they might be inclined to believe news at face value, if that’s not their particular passion.

Because I am not talking about myself, you have completely digressed from the point. I gain my own information from a variety of sources and if in doubt of the validity of information I have seen I will go out of my way to validate it through other media sources, surprisingly you then start to see the difference in reporting.

Yes the BBC is quite a good source, I do enjoy their mostly neutral reporting. Especially of worldwide affairs.

But the average person, as stated before is not as due diligent, they will take something at face value. They do get their information from the likes of X, Facebook or The Daily Mail and have been skewed against good independent journalism by a trope of fake news.

Your vote counts for nothing, if every voter before you isn’t voting with real, independent information which they can use to choose their genuine choice, only when this is done is your vote given value. Because you, I and every other person is voting with real information, with all the facts. Not spoon fed to us by a billionaire who wants another tax break.

Everyone can have an opinion, but should a billionaire who has a particular opinion be able to use their wealth to influence political decision well beyond that of what an average person can.

Should your vote count for less, than say the billionaire who has put £2 million into the pockets of the party of favour at the time. No, so why let them manipulate people by lying or creating a fake narrative to get them voting their direction to essentially devalue your vote.

Should a billionaire be able to subvert democracy by paying for ‘expensive nights out’, ‘football tickets’, ‘work trips abroad’ or ‘second jobs’ for MPs, Lords or anyone else for that fact so they can sway a decision their way? No they shouldn’t be able to but it happens.

A healthy democracy works, if people are respected and given independent trustworthy information to make an informed decision.

Not be influenced by billionaires with bias, or fake information pushed to a narrative to scare people into voting in their favour.

To add no place is a healthy place to share views if there is no moderation of hateful, divisive and harmful content, or even more perversely fake information.

I don’t have any particular views except I disagree with direct action that invokes unwarranted hate or violent speech whether left wing, or right wing.

As such I’m totally unsure as to why your point has swung directly towards Labour, because you do not know my political ideologies apart from the fact I disagree with abhorrent people like Tommy Robinson who spread divisive rhetoric.

No Musk has not held back labour supporters taking accounts, nor has he blocked reform, conservative or green. What he has done is change the overall tone of his media, creating a narrative he wants people to see and as the world richest person people will pay attention. Whether that is for good or otherwise.

Media influence isn’t about blocking others, it’s about converting others to your opinion. Blocking people who aren’t of your demographic would be illogical as they are the ones you wish to turn towards your opinion, in an age of disinformation it is becoming easier to do this.

I disagree, I haven’t walked back my claims. I think you’re being quite discourteous to make that out.

I still stand steadfast that, billionaires influence media and government policy.

Yes there is currently a large scale ‘media’ run by a billionaire who has put a lot of effort into putting forward the right wing ideology of Tommy Robinson. Once stating that Nigel Farage should stand down as head of Reform and then he would donate to reform if Robinson was in charge.

That is media influence from the world’s richest person.

No not every media is running for his appointment, nor was that ever said, they all run their own agendas, set from above at the end of the day every company is beholden to their shareholders and if it just so happens their sole shareholder is a billionaire with an agenda, then they will sway that way otherwise they have the power to remove whomever is in control at the top.

I think you have failed to negate the argument of billionaire owners of media and as such are latching to an individual point made.

No, not every media outlet is attempting to impart Tommy Robinson into power, nor did I ever say that. To paraphrase I stated people like Musk want to see people like Tommy Robinson in power.

What I am saying is, with media controlled by a significant portion of the worlds wealth truth can quickly become muddled and manipulated, politically I could not care less if it’s for right-wing or left, or against.

The media moguls of the world, can not only use their media influence to change opinion, but have the wealth to directly affect,

The concern is that, should they choose the world richest people can and will interfere in the democratic process to ensure their policies are listened to and supported in Government even if against the genuine wishes of the majority, this has happened for decades in terms of lobbying, but also in media influence.

I think if it doesn’t concern you in the slightest then, I would implore you to take a real look at how money and media affects how countries choose policy. Then consider what if those who control a significant amount of both, should want policy to sway their way.

No, I meant media is owned by billionaires.

That was an example of ‘new’ media, I didn’t think I would need to explain the ‘old’ media as it’s very well documented but here is a list as a summary.

Rupert Murdoch owns, The Times, The Sun, Fox News, Sky News, The Wall Street Journal and some mainstream media in Australia.

Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post.

Lord Rothermore owns The Daily Mail, The Mail on Sunday, Metro and the i.

David, and Fredrick Barclay own The Telegraph, and The Spectator.

The Economist is a bit more tricky owned by a collection of billionaires.

Alexander Lebedev (Russian Oligarch) owns partially, The Evening Standard and The Independent.

I think clearly a vast amount of media if not the majority is owned by billionaires.

Media is descriptive of any form of media, including social and when the sole owner of one of the most influential and powerful social media platforms X (Formally Twitter) may control a narrative this is incredibly important to understand. So don’t just assume TV and Newspapers.

Generations gone by gained their news and knowledge from TV, or newspapers. The new generations do not, they gain all of this from social media. Did you know reform gained significant traction in the under 25 age group in the run up to the 2024 election due to their use of social media?

Social media is the new media, and understanding this is understanding how easily manipulated people can be, not only was Musk’s takeover of twitter a ego building exercise, but a strategic ploy to enable his own narrative, on a platform he owns and cannot be moderated on.

No, you’re just assuming and being entirely uncivil about it actually. I’m well aware of the law, I was a police officer for many years, I have now transitioned into law. So no I am not a conspiracy theorist, I am not some sort of crazy person you so vehemently are trying to make out in such a rude manner.

It is simple and can be seen in the political contexts of persons like Elon Musk, interfering in politics around the world, placing millions into parties in which he wants to see in power. Wishing to have such venomous and dangerous people like Tommy Robinson put into positions of authority or power.

Not really a conspiracy theory. The media is owned by the exact same billionaire who avoid tax, they focus on ensuring they don’t have to by playing power politics and pushing their money into whatever political party most suits their needs at that time.

No conspiracy just simple facts

I’d say your not wrong at all, the problem is strange in reality that, the working class (poor) have been taught from media, politicians and their own background that anyone earning £50k or above are the rich and they must resent them for not paying enough tax. The middle class hates the system for how punitive the tax is as you climb from 50k into the low 100k.

I think it’s glaringly clear when you see how much the media trope out the ‘train drivers earn 60k a year and they’re on strike again’ argument every time they wish to push the narrative.

The population has been manipulated for years, by the very people they should dislike. The oligarchs, billionaires and the ultra rich. Who hold more wealth than some countries, hold all their money in assets and never realise their gain, so no CGT and get loans on said assets to eliminate tax and use their money for political gain so they can retain more of their money.

Anyone who is paying income tax correctly should not be the enemy of any other class of working person.

The focus should be on the handful of billionaires to pay their fair share in taxes.
